REIMAGINING STONE FOR BEAUTIFUL SPACES
Cannata goes beyond the ordinary. Proudly rooted in Italian stone-masonry heritage, the family-run company is a forerunner in marble, granite, porcelain and stone applications for contemporary interior design. Cannata’s technicians are armed with unparalleled stone-engineering know-how, gained over decades of refinement in the company’s Cape Town factory, and are therefore able to craft tailored solutions for every unique request in stone.
ARCHITECTURAL
Cannata’s strength lies in sourcing unique materials to complement any aesthetic. The experienced team is able to work off renders and images to determine the perfect surfaces and finishes, while offering detailed technical advice on installation. Whether it’s an integrated stone element, fluted wall, bespoke floor tile, dramatic sconce or fireplace intricately combining brass and stone, the Cannata team can make it happen. A wealth of skill and craftsmanship and an openness to collaborate with other established artisans gives Cannata a passionate point of difference in South Africa.
HOSPITALITY
Hotels and guest houses are infused with timeless sophistication, thanks to Cannata’s years of expertise in the hospitality industry. From serene lobbies to vibrant public spaces, there’s a confidence in Cannata’s way of making stone work for high-traffic areas. Bedrooms, bathrooms and penthouse suites are turned into luxurious havens, with porcelain tiles, mosaics, engineered stone or natural marble, while pool and outdoor areas show off stone’s immense versatility. Working directly with a project’s professional team of contractors, architects, interior designers, joiners and quantity surveyors, Cannata creates spaces that are at once memorable and welcoming.
RETAIL
Cannata’s skilled workmanship shines through in retail stores, where products are purposefully developed to enhance the shopping experience. Merchandise stands, display tables, shop fronts and shelves become stylish artforms when fabricated from stone. Glimmering marble shelves, specially engineered terrazzo plinths, moulded payment counters and other specialised designs make retailers stand out with their own distinguished brand personality. Cannata also collaborates with stores to develop unique brand accessories that demonstrate the vast capabilities of stone.
RESIDENTIAL
The hands-on Cannata team works closely with interior designers to realise the look and feel of a home by way of suitably selected stone surfaces that are fabricated to convey the interior language. Always working within budgets, timeframes and personal preferences, Cannata does things right the first time, relying on years of experience to execute projects of the highest standard – always in line with the brief, no matter how bold and daring the dream.
